Clair's Reunion (1992)

Phylicia Rashad: Clair Huxtable

Quotes 

• Clair Hanks Huxtable : [discussing a civil rights sit-in near Hillman campus]  I went back to see Professor Capel after that class. I wanted to talk about that lunch counter. I wanted to know how is it that people could hate like that? And I figured, if anybody had the answer, certainly it would be a professor of philosophy. In all the time that I knew her, it was the only time she did not have an answer. But, she did say something to me that I have cherished to this day, which is why I volunteered to organize this dinner.

  Leah : What was that?

  Clair Hanks Huxtable : She told me I was her favorite student.

  Leah : That's lovely, Clair.

  [gestures to herself] 

  Leah : Because, she told me I was her favorite student.

  Baathie Ndiaie : Same thing.

  Millicent : She told me I was her very favorite student, and she gave me a C.

  Maxine : I got you there; she gave me an S! And, she told me that I was her most favorite student!
